| 1 ¶ A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
|
|
| 2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
|
|
| 3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
|
|
| 4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
|
|
| 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
|
|
| 6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender1 mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
|
|
| 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
|
|
| 8 ¶ Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
|
|
| 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
|
|
| 10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
|
|
| 11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
|
|
| 12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
|
|
| 13 His soul shall dwell2 at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
|
|
| 14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and3 he will shew them his covenant.
|
|
| 15 ¶ Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck4 my feet out of the net.
|
|
| 16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
|
|
| 17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
|
|
| 18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
|
|
| 19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel5 hatred.
|
|
| 20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
|
|
| 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
|
|
| 22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
